Chronology
Predecessor
Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS / Wii U

Super Smash Bros. Ultimate is the 5th game in the Super Smash Bros. series. The game features all previous characters from the series. Ultimate is notable for introducing over a dozen new characters to the series, all of whom are confirmed to receive amiibo figures.

Smash Ultimate uses amiibo in a similar fashion as Super Smash Bros for Nintendo 3DS/Wii U. Players are able to register an amiibo "Figure Player". The Figure Player has a partially pre-programmed AI that is heavily influenced by the behaviors of the human player. Players can apply spirits to their amiibo^[1] to receive stat boosts and unique spirit effects that influence the match against the amiibo opponent.

Amiibo that do not have a fighter in Smash Ultimate but do have a related spirit will receive the associated spirit of their character.

Figure Player transfer[]

The player can transfer their amiibo's figure player from Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS / Wii U to Super Smash Bros. Ultimate. however, their figure player's level will be decreased depending on it's level in 3DS/Wii U (eg. a Level 50 amiibo in 3DS/Wii U will become Level 12 in Ultimate). Amiibo behaviors do not carry over in any significant way: rather, Smash Ultimate randomizes their behavior to fight like a typical Level 12 Figure Player.
